weekend view



headband: giveaway Rayna Jaye; coat: Michael Kors



who killed Bambi?

not a milkshake

I thought I was ordering a milk shake..
you know, like in America..
with ice cream..
except it ended up being milk..
shaken..
with some chocolate powder..

this is not the first time I have made this ordering error..

fool me once..
shame on you..
fool me twice..
 shame on the UK.



I won this headband in a giveaway done by Amy
I NEVER win giveaways..
seriously.
But I went to her blog and I was like, oh I need that..
went to the shop and I was all, those are reasonably priced, i can just buy one..
so I emailed the designer and I was like you have what i need.
Then I entered the giveaway just for kicks..
and I actually won.
power of positive thinking..


Speaking of positive thinking..
6 weeks after my mom donated her kidney to my aunt..
she had to go back into surgery to have her appendix removed.
She was pretty devastated because she had just recovered from the transplant..
but she maintained her positive spirit..
and she is recovering well.
She is the bravest, strongest woman I know.

  1. I was fooled in the UK by Pancakes. They are not American pancakes that are fluffy and eaten with syrup... they are flat and more like crepes. Disappointment.

  5. Pizza in Poland is made with ketchup. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

    I was traumatized on multiple family vacations.

  6. Oh I totally need one of those headbands...so cute!

    I'm sorry about the milkshake though, it seems like it would feel kind of like when you're expecting Sprite but get water.

  12. I am so glad that your mom is doing well! She has been in my thoughts.

    And what is so hard about making a milkshake over there? They need to get that together.

    That headband was made just for you. Love it.

  13. SOOOOOO glad your Mom is doing well! It must have been all those awesome prayers I sent up. Just sayin.

    Oh, and you're hot. But you already knew that!

    ReplyDelete

  14. would it be wrong to be obsessidicals with you in that turban??? because if it is, i don't wanna be right.

    good for your mom for staying in the right mindset. from what i hear, that's crucial to healthy, speedy recovery!

  16. Oh your poor sweet momma. I had my appendix removed last November and it is NOT fun. The worst pain I have EVER felt. I can only imagine how annoying it'd be to need it removed right after recovering from a different surgery. I hope she is all better very soon!

    Love that headband! And I'd heard about those European milkshakes... Doesn't sound too yummy...

    ReplyDelete

  17. And you look freakin' amazing in it! I'm glad you love it.

    Glad your mom is recovering well. Mama's are the best!

  44. i once wrote an entire post on how terrible the euro "milkshakes" are.

    and your mom...i can't believe it! that is unreal. i wish you were at home to eat taco bell/help her recover. i'm in the US right now...want me to bring some tacos back for you? i'm sure they'll be fresh 'til thanksgiving.

    ReplyDelete

  45. 1. i am pleased your mom is recovering well. she is a hero in the truest sense.
    2. you are good looking, which you know, but i'm reaffirming it in writing.
    3. you don't look warm enough in that thin jacket. something like that would not suffice in seattle right now. #socold #needcalifornia

  46. Sorry, I'm slow to the game, but sending lots of good thoughts to your mom!
